title: [Idiopathic muscular hypertrophy of the esophagus. A report of a symptomatic case].
abstract: A case of idiopathic muscular hypertrophy of the esophagus in a 55 years old woman with a two months history of dysphagia is presented. Radiological, esophagoscopic and CT scanning appearance was of an infiltrating process, but intraoperative histological examination revealed the benign feature of the lesion. Thus adequate surgical treatment was performed.
